Aimeé-Kate Bosch Speech Therapist

Aimeé-Kate Bosch Speech Therapist I am a Speech- Language Therapist based in Somerset West. I obtained my Bachelor of Speech-Language and Hearing Therapy at the University of Stellenbosch.

I completed my community service at Khayelitsha District hospital where I gained experience in Neurogenic communication disorders, Dysphagia, Paediatric communication disorders, as well as Neonatal feeding and Kangaroo Mother Care. I worked for two and a half years at the Western Cape Cerebral Palsy association based at Red Cross Children’s hospital, where I have gained experience in Paediatric Dysphagia, Language stimulation and therapy, and Alternative and Augmentative Communication. I currently have a private practice in Somerset West, treating patients at Vergelegen Mediclinc, as well as doing home visits for the elderly, adults and children. I have a passion for patient advocacy where I work closely with organisations such as Rare Diseases South Africa and I believe in patient centered healthcare.

Finding Your Words Again After a Stroke

A stroke can cause aphasia, a language disorder that affects a person’s ability to speak, understand, read, or write — but not their intelligence. Imagine knowing exactly what you want to say, but not being able to get the words out.

A Speech Therapist supports people with aphasia by tailoring therapy to each individual’s needs — helping rebuild language skills, teaching alternative communication strategies, and empowering families to communicate effectively.

With patience, practice, and support, communication can improve. This World Stroke Day, let’s recognise the vital role of speech therapy in helping survivors find their voice again.

When Speech Becomes Difficult After a Stroke

After a stroke, some people experience dysarthria — a speech disorder caused by muscle weakness or poor coordination. Speech may sound slurred, slow, or soft, and communication can feel frustrating.

A Speech Therapist works closely with stroke survivors to strengthen the muscles used for speech, improve breath support, and develop clear and confident communication. Therapy focuses not only on clarity of speech, but also on restoring confidence and social connection.

Because communication is more than just words — it’s how we stay connected to others.

Eating and Drinking Safely Again After a Stroke

A stroke can affect the brain’s control over the muscles we use to chew and swallow — a condition known as dysphagia. This can make eating and drinking difficult or even dangerous, increasing the risk of choking or pneumonia.

A Speech Therapist plays a vital role in assessing swallowing function and helping patients return to safe, comfortable eating. Through specialised exercises, texture modification, and strategies to improve muscle coordination, we support recovery and help restore one of life’s simplest pleasures — enjoying a meal safely.

Let’s raise awareness this World Stroke Day of how early speech therapy intervention can make a life-changing difference in recovery and quality of life. 💪🍽️

Did you know that Speech Therapists can assist patients who have had a stroke? Here's three ways how we can help:

1. Regaining Communication Skills

A stroke can affect the brain’s ability to speak, understand, read, or write. Speech Therapists help retrain these skills so individuals can express themselves and reconnect with loved ones.

2. Improving Speech and Clarity

Weakness or incoordination of the speech muscles can make speech slurred or unclear (dysarthria). Speech therapy focuses on strengthening these muscles and improving breath support and pronunciation.

3. Restoring Safe Swallowing

Many people experience swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) after a stroke. Speech Therapists assess swallowing safety, recommend suitable textures, and teach exercises to reduce the risk of choking or aspiration.
